Light

Move rays, boundaries, lenses and screens to investigate critical angle, total internal reflection and image formation in Cambridge IGCSE Physics.

2 labs · IGCSE 0625 / 0654

Guided

Converging Lens Imaging

Slide an object, a lens and a screen along an optical bench to find where a sharp image forms, draw the rays that make it, and see when no screen can catch the image.

Guided

Critical Angle and Total Internal Reflection

Turn a laser inside a glass block towards its surface, find the angle where the light just escapes along the boundary, and see what happens to the ray beyond it.

Waves

Operate wave sources and boundaries to connect wavelength and gap size to diffraction in Cambridge IGCSE Physics.

Guided

Diffraction Through a Gap

Drag the edges of a gap in a ripple tank and stretch the incoming wavelength, then compare how much the waves spread out with a starting wavefront.

Electricity and magnetism

Change transformer windings and compare cable current, heating loss and source power in Cambridge IGCSE Physics.

1 lab · IGCSE 0625 / 0654

Guided

Transformers and Power Transmission

Wind the coils of a transformer, change the turns to step a voltage up or down, then send power down a long cable and see why high voltage wastes less of it as heat.

Thermal physics

Compress a fixed mass of gas and connect volume, particle collisions and pressure at constant temperature in Cambridge IGCSE Physics.

Guided

Gas Compression at Constant Temperature

Push a piston into a sealed gas at constant temperature, count how often the particles hit the walls, and use your own pressure and volume readings to find the rule that links them.
